Students in the Wauwatosa West band program are preparing for the annual Solo & Ensemble Festival, where musicians perform individually or in small groups for judges.
Students rehearse and share what the experience means to them as they get ready for the competition at West Allis Central on February 28. Solo & Ensemble gives students the opportunity to select music from an approved list and work independently or collaboratively to prepare their performances.
Judges provide feedback on each performance, and top ratings can qualify students to advance to the state competition. Produced by Nate Benedict, Jeremiah Coleman, Denise Love and Caden Bennett in Media Communications for TWTODAY high school journalism program.
